team in the sense it just shows you the confidence riddled in twenty four hours and added to that root is the other credit agency has dropped ten percent so it's having an effect around them really the i would say the. ones who are making of all . just the image over i guess is we know over the years they've had a real battering in terms of the weight of them they downgraded not just companies banks but also countries and people are wondering does it really matter considering a downgrade of u.s. foreign cost didn't make a difference same with funds bribery moody's was in the one downgrading the u.s. some rating so i mean it's been it's being punished by association absolutely definitely keep a close eye on the star of best is might even be predicting them to be the next in the firing line perhaps the fact that they've lost this ten percent would tell us about mark well if if s. and p. is found guilty we can almost be sure that moody's is going to be next in line

thank you very much kitty pilgrim and britain's banks face the threat of being broken up into pieces that's after the country's treasury chief george osborne on tuesday said the bank's high risk investment arms are jeopardizing the safety of their retail operations earlier on tuesday spoke with its shock. strategist at e.t.f. capital he said the initiative was a long time coming. barclays. basically beefing up its funds for misselling p.p.i. you know so generally at the moment right now there's a big lack of confidence around the u.k. banking system that kicked off in two thousand and eight when there were no when the banks were group an obvious had to go through a bailout and also the collapse of northern rock and that's gone through for not only for the u.k. banking system but for the global banking system so. these measures although they seem like a bit of a preemptive strike by the government. in some way instilling

a return of confidence in the u.k. banking sector to look at least from a consumer perspective how many banks do you think actually fall into that potential breakup category. i mean in the u.k. we've got. in terms of all all the major banks on the list banks in the u.k. have major rito. perhaps the exception would probably be standard chartered which has most of its operations outside of the u.k. in terms of retail. mostly operate within asia and the middle east but the likes of h.s.b.c. rollbacks cotton barclays noids bank they all have major divisions especially rollback scotland lloyds and barclays i think those three are going to be the ones in focus h.s.b.c. has a global footprint especially in asia they may not be under as much pressure as the other three and i think the big question from people in the market right now is what sort of shape. banking sector which would be an after these these measures

come in place exactly and that's exactly my next question do you think it's going to unpack the banks in a negative way as far as making them left competitive on the international market. yeah i think you know i think there's a big concern about that banks have generally been there were at least the u.k. banks and they have been generally be risking the balance sheets over the last two years that we've seen that would roll back as cotton and barclays. the to do doing a steady job of a member going to continue doing so that they do you leveraging them in better shape than they were a couple years back to raise their capital so you know on a board perspective we can say is in europe with us that they look like a pretty good look sort of priest he said ranks but at the same time a breakup if they don't comply with these these measures would alter the i mean less flexibility for these banks it's going to i suppose the big key thing for food for the market right now is this for me. and the investor conference which mean

that to find it harder to raise capital therefore the hopes raise capital to fund a very difficult to lend to small businesses small businesses will perhaps then look at of the other you or the banks in the world that may have more relaxed measures and rules in order to start getting some money out of. ls out take a quick look at the markets to see where with stand this tuesday in the united states the only place actively trading the sour equities are actually pretty bullish as you can see there thanks mainly to quarterly reports beating analysts expectations something that traders like one of the main news makers is a computer make a dell it plans to go private and deal worth more than twenty four billion dollars a stock is up about one of four percent the sour over in europe let's see what's going on there the indices were rebounding from their sharp losses on monday in fact we saw the biggest daily gain in about four weeks the main a loser on the currency markets on tuesday was the japanese yen that's after the

bank of japan chief said he plans to step down next month the euro was gaining against the greenback on tuesday here in moscow you're seeing the dynamic there the ruble close the mixed to the currency basket and when it comes to russia equities here were trading in sympathy with global war says hence the gains as you're seeing here. budget cuts and austerity measures they all seem to make europeans so focused on money they're now scrutinizing the salaries of top e.u. officials in fact the staff in the e.u. council is on strike over how much money some e.u. leaders make and were curious to so here goes germany's chancellor angela merkel has a monthly salary of about twenty one thousand in the euros which for one thousand euros is her pay as a member of the german parliament president of the european commission whose own

old growth is earning about twenty five thousand euros a month these figures might not actually seem like anything outrageous but the strike takes place against a value drop of and to succeed in salary cuts for many a lower ranking european public servants. russia's billionaire alexander lebedev and his son you've gainey have won the license to operate a new television station in london it will be it will base its contents on the stories from the newspapers the evening standard and the independent the level of team beat four other applicants for the rights to a twelve year license to broadcast to an estimated four million homes other contenders include a former mayor candidate stephen norris and a former channel four chairman luke johnson a london live as it will be called plans to operate from early two thousand and fourteen for about eighteen hours

a day mainly focusing on news current affairs and the general interest stories in the british capital. and that's all the latest from the city well you can always find. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then something else you hear sees some other part of it and realize that everything is. welcome to the big picture. more news today violence is once again flared up the film these are the images the

a free media. tom. sigrid laboratory in the caribbean was able to build the world's most sophisticated robot which on fortunately doesn't give a dollar amount anything to nj mission to teach creation why it should care about humans in the world this is why you should care watch only on the r g dot com. if you just joined us for a woman community life here in moscow the news continues now and we return to our top story the ongoing conflict in money and french military involvement in africa and it's crossed now to analyst patrick henningsen he's joining me now for what he makes of all of this the french want to leave mali security to african troops do you think those troops will be able to keep the situation under control i think

this is a group of countries that is being trained mainly by the united states. fifteen or worse nations this is supposedly an african led mission but really if you look under the surface of it all these happenings in the last month or so go perfectly into the united states. directive vijender which has been put in place in two thousand and seven under bush and has really caught pace under the obama administration so it could be a case of this is just an entree for a bigger escalation on the western powers in the future what we're seeing china exacting its influence and of course in investing huge amounts in africa the two are going to clash aren't they with the u.s. now accepting its influence. it's funny because if you read the african documents and they are available online still you'll see that the main one of the main thesis is of the creation of africa has to have been the chinese from africa phase one was

libya that clearly was phase one and as we can see quite clearly you know the refugee problem created by the nato's attack and regime change war in libya has created a refugee problem in northern mali and also some of the same al qaeda forces the west nato was coordinating with in libya there are now bits and pieces of them are on marauding through northern mali so you can't divorce what happened last year or two years ago libya from what's happening now well french special forces have secured a uranium mine in asia does that suggest then that the it is actually the pursuit of resources behind what's going on the intervention in mali for example and the us influence behind the scenes. sure you know revise the french is a big nucular fuel company and funny enough or evil is having massive problems with the nigerian government over many things workers' rights construction schedules and

they were sort of losing favor with that contract and lo and behold this new crisis and now he has given the french a perfect opportunity to get back in but what's what really we have to look at bill is you know in syria the terrorists are friends of holland they're accusing the terrorists and rally of trying to overthrow a sovereign state but in syria it seems to be ok to overthrow the sovereign state so you know we were there to defeat the terrorists in mali but they were friends and syria this is a hypocrisy that's now open for the world to see a path to if they're all economic interests at play have these governments mali and yet that they actually want to help to export their was also a stand they say surely when europe and africa work together that security and stability can be achieved through prosperity. i think they want control you know the west is very concerned that china has had more or less you know a fifteen year head start on them in africa that china is going to curry favor with

these african nations but so this is coming in with military force create destabilization and most pundits don't have to be a genius to know where this is going and it is going to go throughout the central africa congo is is the big prize in all this because the u.s. has always favored sort of enemies of congo you know if you look at uganda and you look at rwanda what's going on in the jungles there certainly congo is is one of the richest resource countries in africa and it's absolutely blessed with you know a lot of things that western corporations would like to get their hands on and not pay top dollar for so this is just the start of regional tensions and military campaigns but the french just saying well this is a militarily successful campaign that predicting that soon they'll be out be able to have authority and it will be finished and not in the country be better off so

you're saying this is just the start of major instability in africa. yeah you only have to read the african documents the u.s. afrikaans documents to know this is a long term plan how many times bill that we've heard or worley going to go in for a few months and stabilize the situation and we'll be out what's not going to happen is there going to be permanent french and this is slightly out of nato is ranger so they're doing this under a new offices and they're going to provide logistical support military trainers hardware build air bases and so you have these different pockets of africa where your west is vying for military station in control already the u.s. has a base and two boutique third launching joe drones from so you have the militarization of the continent of africa so it's a just briefly why a lot he got help from france to step in but the central african republic didn't get help when it did all because well so why would that be excluded do you think.

certainly it's there's certain countries that have certain interests that were the forefront of countries like france united states britain and so forth so you know it depends i mean look at the government in mali it's the junior military coup that took over a democratically elected president who fell out of favor with the u.s. so again it's the king making nation building and we're going to see more and more of this in africa africa's untapped economically in the west is really racing with china to gain sort of dominance on this continent because of all the uranium the cobalt type you know to obtain the lithium all the rear of minerals the gas the oil africa is absolutely bountiful and this is going to be a battleground in the resource wars of the twenty first century patrick really interesting to hear your perspective on this patrick and it's and joining me live here political analyst there in london thanks patrick. fresh

allegations of in the age of secret cia prisons around the world the violations that have allegedly been taking place there and we'll paste angio funded by one of america's richest men george soros has unveiled a report which claims to detail the operation of these so-called black sites we get live expert opinion shortly but first artie's got to just count has the details. this is a very comprehensive report prepared by the open society foundations not only do they detail torture techniques that were used at cia secret prisons overseas to so-called black sites but also give a list of countries that one way or another participated in cia secret detention and extraordinary rendition operations including by hosting cia prisons on their territories detaining interrogating torturing going to be using it to be jewels assisting in a tour in the capture and transport of detainees and so on so the list includes countries like afghanistan all australia canada denmark djibouti age of georgia germany syria turkey italy the united arab

emirates. united the united kingdom yemen and other countries while president bush acknowledged that the cia had secretly detained about one hundred prisoners and this report alleges that there were more the u.s. government had only identified sixteen high value detainees italy is the only country where court has criminally convicted officials for their involvement in extraordinary rendition operations ten of these the only country to issue an apology to an extraordinary rendition victim. who was rendered to and tortured in syria only three countries in addition to canada and that have swayed in australia and the united kingdom have issued compensation to extraordinary rendition victims this report is rife with human rights abuses and it's clear that high ranking bush administration officials bear responsibility for authorizing human rights

violations and yet no one was prosecuted because the u.s. government has classified everything related to its torture practices any accusation would be dismissed on state secrets grounds. journalist and historian douglas valentine feels that the anti terror measures in force by america are overzealous because the power elite have riding the wave of the myth hoping to sustain its authorized by the u.s. congress by certain very important congress people who believe that they are reflecting the will of the american people in the wake of nine eleven there was a huge outcry in america for vengeance for the united states to prove for the government to prove that it was more terrible than the people who had watched the nine eleven attack and so the congress believe it had to reflect the will of the people offer wise the cia to do this since nine eleven the government has been able to maintain this attitude that it's required for security to commit crimes and.

this is never been necessary before it and what it exhibits is what it illustrates is that the government has. since nine eleven more capable of propagandizing the american people by exaggerating the threats that exist in order to perpetuate which probably is a state of emergency that really doesn't exist in which the government's able to portray the united states the greatest military power that ever existed on the planet earth and some of the person that's being bullied. the truth is exactly the opposite. well that's you up to date for the moment small news coming your way in just a few minutes from now on r.t. with me bill don't stay with us this is in moscow.
